Two days after my Prolia shot, I noticed 6 red bumps on my upper chest and lower neck. They looked like skin tags, but they’re bigger, and they’re itchy. Then I started to get red bumps that looked like mosquito bites on my legs and thighs, and they were itchy. The bumps became bigger and darker red. I saw the nurse practitioner at my PCPs office and she agreed it might be a reaction to the shot. I was put on prednisone 2 tabs daily for 5 days plus 1 Pepcid daily. It reduced the itchiness but did not stop the rashes and hives. I got more rashes every day pretty much all over my body except my face and neck. Three weeks later, the rashes are looking more like eczema. I have an appointment to see a dermatologist in 3 days and I’m praying there will be a safe and effective intervention besides Prednisone. I’m terrified, as I don’t know how much worse it can get and how long it will last. And the Prolia is in my system for up to 6 months.

I got my first injection at the end of February 2023, and another one I believe at the end of August I had no reaction after the first shot and began to get red rash on my cheeks and forehead after the second shot it has diminished now and I am going to see a dermatologist who specializes in skin allergies I don’t get my neck shot until the first week of March so I’ll have the results before that
